Match Report

Vasily Podkolzin opened the scoring at 13:12 of the first for Edmonton. Mason McTavish answered at 16:18 (Helleson, Hinds) and Mikael Granlund made it 2-1 on the power play at 17:45 (Kreider). Edmonton flipped it in the second: Kasperi Kapanen at 3:57 (Draisaitl, Murphy), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins at 5:39 (Bouchard, McDavid). Alex Killorn tied it at 12:37 (Granlund). The third was all Anaheim — Beckett Sennecke at 2:53, Leo Carlsson at 3:35 (just 42 seconds later), Connor McDavid pulled one back at 8:36 on the power play, then Jeffrey Viel at 16:57 and Jackson LaCombe (empty net) at 18:27 sealed 7-4.

Turning Point

Sennecke and Carlsson scoring 42 seconds apart at the top of the third broke Edmonton's grip. The Ducks' four-goal third — capped by LaCombe's empty-netter — flipped a 3-3 game into a series statement.

Anaheim takes a 2-1 series lead and validates the youth movement under Joel Quenneville. Sennecke (20) and Carlsson (21) emerged as series headliners. For Edmonton, McDavid had a goal and assist, but the Oilers conceded four goals in 20 minutes — that's not a path to deep playoff hockey.

Sennecke and Carlsson light up Edmonton — Ducks roll 7-4 in Game 3

Beckett Sennecke and Leo Carlsson scored 42 seconds apart early in the third period to spark a four-goal explosion as the Anaheim Ducks beat the Edmonton Oilers 7-4 in Game 3 of the Western Conference First Round at Honda Center on Friday. Mikael Granlund had a goal and three assists, and Anaheim leads the best-of-seven series 2-1.

Ducks 7, Oilers 4 | Periods: 2-1, 1-2, 4-1 | Goalies: Dostal (ANA) 20 saves, Ingram (EDM) 32 saves | Series: ANA leads 2-1

Edmonton strikes first; Ducks flip it

Vasily Podkolzin gave the Oilers a 1-0 lead at 13:12 of the first with a snap shot from the right circle. Anaheim answered quickly: Mason McTavish tipped a Helleson shot at 16:18, and Granlund buried a power-play rebound off Kreider's setup at 17:45 to put the Ducks ahead 2-1 after 20.

Oilers reclaim the lead in the second

Edmonton's top line went to work in the middle frame. Kapanen finished a Draisaitl pass at 3:57. Nugent-Hopkins jammed a McDavid feed home at 5:39. Anaheim's response came at 12:37 — Killorn buried a Granlund feed from the slot to make it 3-3 after 40.

42 seconds that broke the game

Anaheim's youth wave struck twice in 42 seconds. At 2:53, Sennecke ripped a Granlund pass past Ingram from the left circle. At 3:35, Carlsson finished a Trevor Terry feed at the right post with a backhand for 5-3. McDavid pulled one back on the power play at 8:36, but the Ducks had the momentum.

LaCombe slams the door

Jeffrey Viel finished off a Washe pass at 16:57 to extend the lead to 6-4. Jackson LaCombe added an empty-netter at 18:27 — fed by Granlund — to seal 7-4. A late skirmish (Podkolzin and Sennecke both into the box) reflected Edmonton's growing frustration.

Why it matters

It was Anaheim's first home playoff game in eight years and Honda Center got the most prolific period of the series. Joel Quenneville on his young forwards: "They've shown all the ingredients." For the Oilers, McDavid had a goal and assist, but conceding four goals in 20 minutes is not a recipe for a long playoff run. Game 4 is back in Anaheim — the series is now about resilience, not talent.
